+ NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
+ unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
+ same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
+ tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
+ originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
+ responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
+ netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
+ of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
+
+ $ ip -4 address show eth0
+ 4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
+ inet 172.16.2.252/24 brd 172.16.2.255 scope global eth0
